My granddauther, Annika wanted to do a skydive for her 18th birthday and asked her Mum and  boyfriend to also do one.  These are a few photos of their descent and a video of my daughter Judith landing.  I will show you Annika's video on Friday and her boyfriend's on Wednesday of this week

WEEKEND REFELECTION AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for WeekendReflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is G and Giant 

This is, or rather was my own walky talky doll.  She said Mam, Mam.   I was given it one Christmas as a child.  Of course her/his head was attached then.  I use both gender because my Mummy 

made 2 sets of clothes.  I dressed my DOLL in boys clothes and called him DINKY

When I dressed my DOLL in a DRESS, she was called DINA.



I brought her/him broken ( although she/he could still walk) to my last  home in N.Ireland and the DOLL remained resting in the roof space for 40 years.



When I DISCOVERED I was moving yo Australia I took her to a Special Repair shop.  I told them the DOLL’S history.  They were not sure if they could fix it and i was still unsure if i was going to take it with me to Australia.




However, unbeknown to me, a black lady overheard my story and said she knew of a little black girl that would love my DOLL and would give it a good home.

My mind was instantly made up.  If they could fix my doll, then this little girl could have it.  The lady promised to make a set of girls and boys clothes for it.  Everyone was DELIGHTED.



This final photograph of DAWN at Ballyholme Bay, Bangor.  It is what I am using for my REFLECTION shot
